275th episode
A mermaid village in the womb of the mouth of a bear trap.
explained Mermaid Aish, who serves as the landlord of young mermaids as the oldest there.
"We were eaten years ago by a bear trap mouth. Fortunately, I was lucky not to be swept away by his cover, but to keep my life here in the nutrient storehouse."
"Energy storehouse?"
Jae-ho tilted his head and asked.
"Yes, he usually engages in predatory activities once a year, and in the meantime, he is restricted to hibernation. In that hibernation machine, the nutrients stored here are sent little by little to the stomach and absorbed."
However, they thought it was strange because they had never resumed their activities so soon.
Of course it was thanks to Goinghel's Eggro.
"But why would you be predatory just because you woke up?"
In fact, it was estimated to be a small amount of activity.
"Of course not. It's only natural that you have to be hungry enough to go ahead with your diet. But pay attention and listen. Can't you hear the vibrating sound of this whole space?"
At Aish's words, Jae-ho closed his eyes and focused.
Kourr Kourr
There was really an unidentified sound.
"This is the sound of him when he's hungry. I don't know what happened out there, but it certainly means he's undernourished to hibernate."
"Hmm......."
"For the next three days, he'll start preparing for the predation, and that's the chance to escape."
"You don't need to fill your stomach right away, do you need extra preparation?”
"Of course. You'd know if you'd seen a giant body and a snout, but he eats anything by scratching the floor. The solid ground we set foot on is the result. The predatory pre-work is to hoist these impurities. The timing for us to escape is just then!"
"...you're going out in shit.
"Poop is a shit that has to be passed through the stomach, and this is a completely different one."
It was a line-drawing ish, but Jae-ho found the firmness a little fishy.
"I suggest to you, anyway. Why don't you get out of this stink with us?”
[*Quest*]
[The mermaids who have lived for many years, eaten by the mouth of the bear trap in an unfortunate accident.
They want to escape before the predation of the bear trap mouth, which began with your appearance.
You can help them escape, and if you succeed, you can get their great favor and gifts.]
[Success Condition: Gomtrap Escape]
[Compensation: Gifts and Gifts with Mermaids]
He pressed Jae-ho with the quest window, but in fact, there was nothing to worry about.
Chuck
Jae-ho joined hands with Aish.
"Of course we must escape!"
Knowing how to do it was rather an easy quest compared to what we've done so far.
I thought that...
* * *
The process of emptying the storage before the predation, as Aish said, did not end in just one time, but took time on several times.
"As I said before, our village has been located in the safest place by the edge of the storage.”
Aish explained.
"The impurities have accumulated for a long time and have hardened so completely."
a slap on the wrist
He patted the floor with his tail and said,
" shall be transferred to central storage if you want to escape. But trying to escape naked is crazy. It'll melt away in the backflowing digestive fluid."
“…….”
Doesn't that mean you have to be a vomit?
'It's not shit.’
It wasn't a very pleasant way, either.
Anyway, the mermaids' plan for that...….
"This is it!"
“……?”
Stomping hard, Aish arrived in a pile of trash a little far from the village.
"This is an ark made of garbage that has flowed into his storehouse."
"...where on earth?"
If he hadn't explained it, he would have thought it was the absence of a bear trap mouth.
"We plan to use it to protect our bodies from digestive juices and escape."
"Is it even properly protected?”
"Of course! In the last few years, I've tried this many times. I've never been hurt by digestive juices."
"......then why did you fail?”
"We need some luck because it's an escape attempt that relies only on the flow of digestive fluid."
"A little..."
It was not convincing that there was "a little" lack of luck, given that they had failed for years.
"Is quantity important to luck anyway? Success or failure! That's all!"
It was quite a radical argument, but it was true.
How can there be anything so foolish as to weigh the possibility of luck?
"Dan! At this rate, it's clear that he is exterminating, regardless of failure. Because the ark isn't strong enough to protect us from digestive juices."
The cause was the early activity of the bear trap mouth, which deviated from the existing cycle.
"I'd appreciate it if you could find more materials to make the ark with us!"
Jae-ho, who heard that far, nodded his head and thought of something else.
'If we're mixing it up in the vomit, then we can go out on our boat.'
Of course, there was a risk of being mixed up in digestive juices, but there was no big problem if only the elves were careful.
Players will come back to life anyway.
The question is how powerful the digestive juices of the monkfish's digestive juices will be.….’
However, given the state of the mermaids' ark, I thought it might not be at an alarming level.
Then there was a better way than focusing on completing the ark in a hurry now.
* * *
Kugugugu District
The Going Hell, which was recovered enough to allow basic service, moved with a roar.
"Well, what the hell is that monster...…!”
All the mermaids who saw it opened their mouths wide.
"While we're here... I don't know what's going on in the world.…!”
"Wait a minute. That mast thing is an abysmal lantern!"
"Hummy... what is that......... isn't it actually about a hundred years ago?"
Jae-ho ended up explaining.
Goinghel was also the subject of controversy among players.
"Hmmm, first listen to my plan."
The ark was short of ingredients anyway, and it was dangerous to go around in the stomach to get it.
I didn't know when the bear trap mouth would start to nauseate.
"I think we'd better reinforce our ship with those ingredients instead.”
mermaids who are skeptical of Jae-ho's words
"I'm sure there's less risk of being destroyed in the middle of it if I've come all the way here so perfectly.….”
"Do you even float? I don't want to sink and drown."
"What is this mermaid talking about? My mermaid! I don't care if it's underwater anyway!”
"Ah! That's right!"
There was some nonsense, but fortunately they agreed with Jae-ho's plan.
It was because they had doubts about their methods.
"Okay! Then join your plan...….”
Kugugugugugu
A place that suddenly began to shake.
"What? What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
Unlike Jae-ho, who was embarrassed, the mermaids were calm.
"It's on."
Aish said, pointing back.
"It's dark and hardly visible, but this is a sign that the digestive reflux has begun. We usually try twice a day, so we have up to five chances left."
Currrr
As Eisch said, I could see a huge wave of waves in the dark.
"You have to ride that. This is it......"
I was repulsed by the unpleasant glitters, but I can't wait here forever.
"Then let's get to work!!”
There should have been no situation in which one could not even try within five opportunities.
* * *
After a total of three refluxs of digestive fluid occurred, the renovation of the Goinghel was finally completed.
First of all, the hull of the Going Hell was tightly covered with trash that formed the surface of the ark.
It was a measure to delay the immediate corrosion of the hull in the digestive fluid.
And on the deck, they made a roof and a wall and covered it.
The image of the tram is beyond description.
However, this clumsy armoured board never had the durability of the Going Hell.
It was because Goinghel was not accepting them as part of himself.
It was natural that the non-experts could not imitate the work because it required the Dwerp's excellent technical skills and understanding of engineering magic.
In particular, the hatch of the only exposed helm was particularly clumsy.
The holes were drilled in all directions to look outside, and digestive juices and seawater were forced in.
However, in order to escape from his ability, he had to be able to see outside, and Jae-ho was in charge of the crucial task.
It was only Jae-ho who could control this cursed ship the most.
"Hoo...... I'm nervous."
Jae-ho murmured as he gathered his breath.
Now everyone's on board.
The elves were placed in the safest place, below deck, under Jae-ho's strict orders.
They couldn't be helped because they couldn't be revived.
Currrr
Slowly moved, the Goinghel turned the bow in the middle of the storage area, following the direction where the digestive fluid had been swept away.
It was not known when the backflow would begin.
On a cycle, I'm just guessing it's about to happen.
palpitating
a nervous mind for no reason
'Oh... it's a game, but you have all sorts of experiences.'
I've had similar thoughts before.
I don't know if other people do this to themselves...….
Of course the answer was out.
Players from all over the world were not focusing on Jae-ho's small wiggling.
Why have so many people been waiting for Dejuttier?
rumbling
"Hmm?"
a fluctuating reservoir
Jae-ho, who was squatting, jumped up and caught the rudder.
Start the engine and move!
Okay!
With Buffalo's reply, the Goinghel began to move forward with vibrations.
Curr
I could feel a huge wave coming from behind.
Full speed!
To reduce the impact as much as possible and get on the digestive wave, the GOINGHELL has gotten faster.
After a while, Jae-ho was able to see the waves with his eyes through a small window behind the hatch.
Prepare for a collision!
Quaaaaang!!
The GOINGHELL shook violently to see if the digestive fluid was faster than expected.
Chi Yi Yi
At the same time, a pleasant smell and the sound of melting external gloves were also heard.
The digestive medicine that splashed in was also on Jae Ho.
[exposed to digestive juices in .]
[Health is reduced by up to 10% for 10 seconds.]
"Ugh!"
damage of stronger digestive juices than one might think
Good thing I covered you with gloves.’
When I saw smoke rising from the temporary cover on the deck, it was terrible if I had left it as it was.
Power transition complete!
Just in time, a whisper from Buffalo arrived.
The Goinghel, which began to push ahead with a furious rotation of the turbine.
Riding on the digestive juices, he began to go unsteadily through the darkness.
I can't see ahead, but there must be an exit at the end of this flow!
Kugugugu District
Jae-ho, who was conscious of the extreme vibration and stench, stared at the front.
'When is it over?’
A situation in which it is assumed that the escape will be possible at a fairly rapid pace and faster than expected.
But escape wasn't the end.
Not yet?!
Buffalo whispered hurriedly.
Wait! I haven't escaped from my stomach yet!
Why Buffalo Whisper to Urges.
As soon as he escaped, he had to turn off the engine.
As soon as they pop out of their throats, if they move recklessly, they may be attacked by a bear trap mouth again.
Even for a moment, he had to pretend to be dead in his vomit.
Of course, if you do that, the engine will be overloaded, but... Can't it work again?
"Hmm?"
Jae-ho's eyes narrowed as he watched ahead.
'Is it your esophagus?'
a sharply narrow passage
That means you're coming outside!
I'm getting ready.
Jae-ho, who was trying to give Buffalo a signal, was speechless.
Why? What is it? What is it?
I didn't think much about the structure of the giant fish.
The mermaids wouldn't know this.
...speed up!
At the curved point where the esophagus and mouth were connected, there was a mixture of seawater and digestive fluid he had sucked in.
A water film produced by seawater escaping through the gills.
For the GOINGHELL, which had to cross the border, a stronger push was needed.
Hey, you want me to get higher up here?!
An embarrassed buffalo poured a bomb, and the stern of the Goinghel collided with the sea water that felt like a wall due to strong water pressure.
Pukua Aak!
a strong current preventing the advance of the Goinghel
More! We need to increase the output!!
The digestive fluid is still gurgling out, but as soon as this was over, the Goinghel might be swallowed up again or smashed inside the mouth of the monkfish.
Oh, no! This is the best we can do right now! There's no way to increase the output anymore! There's no way to create a more powerful explosion...….
…….
There was one.
It's never gonna happen, but...….
Red!
Jae-ho called out the name of the existence to save him from this crisis.
